Yeah -- too many themes will just be a lot of stuff to maintain without 
a proven need for these things. I probably will keep the grey theme 
(but rename it, maybe to high-contrast). But black/white bg themes will 
most likely fit 98% of users :)

Doing “for file in *.tmbundle/Syntaxes/*.plist; do pl <$file|grep 
string.back; done” reveals surprisingly few: perl, ruby & unix shell. 
The latter being: string.back-quoted though (my bad).

But yes, we should add backticked.

Actually, I saw the shell referring to “double-quoted” as “partially 
quoted” and “single-quoted” as “fully quoted”. I don't know if these 
concepts make more sense than single/double-quoted? E.g. in obj-c we 
have @"strings", in bash we have $'string', and in C we have 'char'. 
The last is a character constant, the middle one is a partially quoted, 
and the first one is also partially quoted.

Question is if people want to style based on semantic or syntax.
